Product information

General

If you have ever worked with Ableton, you'll know that a controller is mightier than a mouse. In order to experience Ableton to the fullest, you need to be able to touch it. Fortunately, the Akai APC40 MKII is here to help you out. Akai has really paid attention to the feedback from APC40 users and changed the layout of the control panel accordingly. This MK2 version has a slightly more flashy and modern look, the cursors are placed at the bottom, eight of the rotary encoders are now located on a spot that makes more sense, and a number of other controls have also been positioned more efficiently. Overall, the APC40 MKII offers a better work flow than its predecessor.

APC40 MKII: Loads of possibilities

This USB-powered controllers offers a 1:1 integration with Ableton Live: its eight faders, eight rotary encoders and a master fader all provide direct access. A 5x8 matrix, equipped with colourful backlit buttons that are slightly wider than those of the original APC40, gives you control over your Ableton clips. Apart from the excellent controller (another great Akai product), the accessory software that comes with the APC40 MKII deserves a mention as well. Included are Ableton Live Lite, Hybrid 3 (AIR Music Tech), Twist (SONiVOX), Prime Loops (Producers Tools) and the downloadable Launch Packs (Toolroom Records). Apart from a computer, you have everything you need to get started: Ableton, various samples... More than enough to keep you going for quite a while!
